I need this.
No, seriously.
Id rather get actual help….or have the world not be so damn aweful that I need a device to fix me :/ This is a beak future where you get told if your sad…just put this on £499 and stop being sad, need a therapist? Just listen to this app chat bot….There's more to depression than an expensive toy version of actual treatment that 'should' be on the NHS.
Didn't a dodgy start up try a mood band kind of thing before, take the advice from the app, don't pay for the hardware scamware, I call bullshit.
I need this
Arrest boris
The only question is – is this really a treatment or way to re-program personality to "be happy"?
Only 3% of the global population would experience depression? It seems so underestimated…
I'm asking if there is asoftware that ahelp of eye glass and hearing aids can see and listen sound of jesus(angels)anddevils(damons,evil)or avideo camera software that both appeared?
You're telling me that the tiny coils and tiny battery in that thing can produce a magnetic field with significant strength? I guess then my brain also gets stimulated by the magnets in my headphones
Thank you for sharing.
I'd sooner try this than getting all kinds of fucked up on SSRIs
I wonder how they decided what level or intensity of electric flow this thing outputs ?
Man every collage student needs it
I wonder how this would work in combo with meditation, exercise, ket, sunrise alarm clock and a 810nm intranasal vie light.
its actually sad to see that people cant cure themselves and would have to rely on these types of machinery to make themselves happy
The most annoying sounding voice I have ever heard.
any real clinical reviews???
I have been using this for three weeks, my feelings of suicide have gone but I have no idea if that is due to the flow headset or other factors, I am not really sure if it’s helping. It’s damned expensive and you have to buy new cellulose pads as you can’t reuse them.
Try grounding
So what happens when you're not depressed and use TDCS? Does it make you more blithe? Or nothing changes?
Flow neuroscience
Everbody needs Theis FLOW
FlOW please help
3% 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Think 50
Can this device treat advanced ADHD?
Its promising, concerns i have from reading the lower rated trustpilot reviews are about tinnitus not subsiding, headaches and burns… but worst is flows lack of response on longer term tinnitus issues. I have heard that other sets using the same technology are better designed but flow having the NHS contract is getting prominent media coverage… I hope they can address the problems as for those with sensory issues the prospect of tinnitus in addition to depression issues is a serious situation that could endanger a person in distress to harm themselves
If I had five kids I'd be DEPRESSED too.
Appreciate the video: I’ve been thinking about trying it out
In a few years half the population will be walking around with these. What a finely tuned hell we have created here on earth.
So electric shock lol. Bk to the old day's .
Slip an electronic calming agent at the back and you have support for schizophrenia.
what depression does it help and what if you stop it
My headset does not connect to the app
I wonder if you could just use a tens machine
